Acreages, shelterbelts and big stands of spruce and aspen, looked after by an ISA certified arborist based just up the road in Cochrane.

Bearspaw properties tend to have a lot of trees: shelterbelts planted decades ago, native aspen groves, and spruce that have grown right up to the house. Over time that means dead trees in the rows, limbs over driveways and outbuildings, and trees that have simply outgrown their spot.
The work here is often a mix of removal, clearance pruning and thinning, planned so the property keeps its shelter and privacy. Lifting the lower branches of conifers and keeping trees back from buildings also follows Alberta's FireSmart guidance for treed properties.

Each service has its own page with what is included and common questions.

I called Silver Fern to do another job on my property, 40 poplars around house and power line. As before work was done safely and professionally by Marek and his team and now I can sleep easy knowing no trees will fall on power lines.

Silver Fern did amazing job for us! We needed to remove several huge trees and overgrown bushes. They arrived perfectly on time and worked hard through all days. Very professional and knowledgable team.

Yes. Bearspaw sits between Calgary and Cochrane, and acreage work there covers everything from single trees near the house to rows of dead or failing trees in an old shelterbelt. Estimates are free, and a walk around the property is the easiest way to plan the work.
Yes. Dead and failing trees can be taken out of a shelterbelt while the healthy ones are left standing, and the brush is chipped on site. It is also a good time to look at whether the remaining rows need thinning or pruning, and whether any gaps are worth replanting to keep the shelter.
Yes. Larger jobs are planned at the estimate, from a handful of problem trees to whole rows of them, so you know how long the work will take and what the property will look like afterwards. One customer had a job covering 40 poplars around their house and power line.
